The roundup() helper function will round a given value up to a multiple of
another given value. aka roundup(11, 7) would give 14 = 7 * 2. This new
function does the opposite. It will round a given number down to the
nearest multiple of the second number: rounddown(11, 7) would give 7.
I need this in some future SELinux code and can carry the macro myself, but
figured I would put it in the core kernel so others might find and use it
if need be.

The conntrack code can export the internal secid to userspace. These are
dynamic, can change on lsm changes, and have no meaning in userspace. We
should instead be sending lsm contexts to userspace instead. This patch sends
the secctx (rather than secid) to userspace over the netlink socket. We use a
new field CTA_SECCTX and stop using the the old CTA_SECMARK field since it did
not send particularly useful information.

With the (long ago) interface change to have the secid_to_secctx functions
do the string allocation instead of having the caller do the allocation we
lost the ability to query the security server for the length of the
upcoming string. The SECMARK code would like to allocate a netlink skb
with enough length to hold the string but it is just too unclean to do the
string allocation twice or to do the allocation the first time and hold
onto the string and slen. This patch adds the ability to call
security_secid_to_secctx() with a NULL data pointer and it will just set
the slen pointer.

Right now secmark has lots of direct selinux calls. Use all LSM calls and
remove all SELinux specific knowledge. The only SELinux specific knowledge
we leave is the mode. The only point is to make sure that other LSMs at
least test this generic code before they assume it works. (They may also
have to make changes if they do not represent labels as strings)

This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a
separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This
is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces
of the interface change as well:
- ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
and file system specific pieces.
- Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
two pieces.
- The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
messages (mds map, in this case).
- The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
ceph_fs_client).
No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got
cleaned up in the refactoring process.

s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does
the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times.
Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the
state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will
add in syscall entry exit.
Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of
hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick
based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not
interested in paying the perf penalty.
This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic.
So, other archs may find it useful as well.
This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.

To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether
softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context.
Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose.
As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the
infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along
with some other state fields.

Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.
Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.
With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.
This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Current lockdep_map only caches one class with subclass == 0,
and looks up hash table of classes when subclass != 0.
It seems that this has no problem because the case of
subclass != 0 is rare. But locks of struct rq are
acquired with subclass == 1 when task migration is executed.
Task migration is high frequent event, so I modified lockdep
to cache subclasses.
I measured the score of perf bench sched messaging.
This patch has slightly but certain (order of milli seconds
or 10 milli seconds) effect when lots of tasks are running.
I'll show the result in the tail of this description.
NR_LOCKDEP_CACHING_CLASSES specifies how many classes can be
cached in the instances of lockdep_map.
I discussed with Peter Zijlstra in LinuxCon Japan about
this approach and he taught me that caching every subclasses(8)
is cleary waste of memory. So number of cached classes
should be configurable.
=== Score comparison of benchmarks ===

We currently have a kernel internal type called aligned_u64 which aligns
__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align
them on 4 byte boundaries. This patch creates a new type __aligned_u64
which does the same thing but which is exposed to userspace rather than
being kernel internal.
[akpm: merge early as both the net and audit trees want this]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: enhance the comment describing the reasons for using aligned_u64. Via Andreas and Andi.]

Commit e9677b3ce (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to
cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called
in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag
for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped.
The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this
function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get
the following two linker errors.
LD .tmp_vmlinux1

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code). Just remove it.
Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)

The move_irq_desc() function was only used due to the problem that the
allocator did not free the old descriptors. So the descriptors had to
be moved in create_irq_nr(). That's history.
The code would have never been able to move active interrupt
descriptors on affinity settings. That can be done in a completely
different way w/o all this horror.
Remove all of it.
